10 Questions to Ask Your Builder (Before You Sign Anything)

10 Questions to Ask Your Builder (Before You Sign Anything)

Posted by Steven McBee on

Building a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. So before you sign on the dotted line, it’s crucial to ask the right questions to make sure your builder is the right fit. At McBee Custom Homes, we welcome these conversations — because we believe transparency, trust, and top-tier quality should be non-negotiable.

Here are the 10 essential questions to ask any builder — and how we proudly answer them:


1. How long have you been in business?
McBee Custom Homes has decades of experience crafting beautiful homes across the Kansas City Metro. Our reputation is built on consistency, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.

2. Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured — protecting both you and your investment.

3. Can I tour some of your completed homes or current builds?
Of course! We encourage you to walk through our past projects and current builds to see the quality and design firsthand.

4. What’s included in your standard features?
Our “standard” features often surpass what other builders call upgrades — think high-end finishes, energy-efficient systems, and modern design elements.

5. Can I customize the floor plan or finishes?
Yes! Custom is in our name for a reason. We’ll work with your vision and bring it to life, from layout to final touches.

6. Who will be my main point of contact during the build?
You’ll have a dedicated project manager and our team’s full support, with regular updates and open communication from start to finish.

7. What’s the typical timeline for building a home?
Timelines vary, but we’ll give you a realistic schedule and keep you informed every step of the way — no surprises.

8. What’s your warranty policy?
We stand behind our work. McBee Custom Homes offers a comprehensive warranty and peace of mind long after move-in day.

9. Do you offer financing or work with preferred lenders?
Yes! We work closely with trusted lenders who understand the custom home process and can guide you to the best financing options.

10. What makes you different from other builders?
It’s simple: Quality, communication, and care. We treat every home like it’s our own, and every client like family.


Ready to Build with Confidence?
Asking the right questions is the first step to building your dream home — and getting answers you trust is everything. At McBee Custom Homes, we’re here to guide you, support you, and exceed your expectations.
